State-run Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co (DSIC) has received a third order for a 7,500-cu m LNG dual-fuel capable liquified CO2 (LCO2) carrier from owner Northern Lights, a joint venture between Shell, TotalEnergies and Equinor which plans to transport and sequester CO2 in the North Sea.
The ship, which is set to be fitted with an air lubrication system and a Flettner rotor, is the third unit in the owner’s series at the yard and is due to be delivered in 2025.
At present, there are five LCO2 carriers on order globally, according to Clarksons data with many yards in Asia now marketing this nascent ship type.
